Voltron: Legendary Defender second season announced at SDCC 2016

As news continues to flood in from San Diego Comic Con 2016, Netflix has announced that Voltron: Legendary Defender, beloved by both fans and critics, has officially gotten a second season. There is no official release date, but Netflix has stated the second season will arrive late 2016. Starring Steve Yeun (Keith), Josh Keaton (Shiro), Tyler Labine (Hunk), Jeremy Shada (Keith) and Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge), Voltron: Legendary Defender follows the adventures of five humans who are chosen to become legendary paladins to combat a centuries old despot with the power of Voltron, the legendary defender.

When Voltron: Legendary Defender hit earlier this year many fans were blown away by the quality of the writing and animation. This was no real surprise to people who knew about the team behind Voltron: Legendary Defender, Studio Mir, the production team behind The Legend of Korra. Studio Mir brought their animation flair to Voltron: Legendary Defender with stunning action set pieces from the five paladins battling against soldiers from the Galra Empire to the titular character Voltron throwing down with giant alien mech beasts.

There has been footage shown, but only to those lucky attendants at SDCC 2016. This footage will hopefully drop in the coming days and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on this news as it unfolds.
